Robot Operating System (ROS) is an open-source robotics middleware suite. Although ROS is not an operating system (OS) but a set of software frameworks for robot software development (wikipedia)

ROS2#

  1. How to resolve the robotic problem
  2. Why of thinking
  3. Think only on your’s.
  4. Standard. Standard. Standard.
  5. Community

ROS2 Framework#

  1. Nodes / Process
  2. Communication (DDS)
  3. Tools (rqt, bag, ..)
  4. ECO System (diagnostics, logging, allot of packages)
  5. Standard. Standard. Standard.

4 Nodes - Image source - test - camera - Tracker - Viewer and controller

Topic and messages#

Code Quality#

Take time but pay off in the long run#

  • Type hinting
  • Formatters
  • Linters
  • Test (pytest)
  • unit test
  • integration test
  • Commit / Pre-commit

Type hinting#

Type hint should be use whenever unit test are worth writing

They help you as a developer write better code

Linters#

A linter is a tool to help you improve your code

  • Fewer errors in production
  • Readable, maintainable, consistent code
  • Code Style (no endless arguments)
  • More secure and performant code

Linters tools#

  • Pylint
  • Flake8
  • mypy

GIT#

  • branching strategy
  • commit
  • tag
  • merge request

branching strategy#

GIT helping tools#

  • GIT cli
  • VSCode
  • Builtin
  • GitLens
  • Git Graph
